Trial opens in Mexico over alleged murders of Australian, US surfers
The suspected murderers of two Australian surfers and an American at a Mexican surfing hotspot went on trial on Monday, two years after their killings in a suspected robbery.
Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, aged 30 and 33, respectively, and 30-year-old American friend Jack Carter Rhoad were on a surfing trip to Mexico’s Pacific coast when they were shot dead in Baja California state.
They had been camping in a remote beachside area when they were attacked in April 2024.
Their bodies were found dumped in a clifftop shaft several days after they went missing. They bore gunshot wounds to their heads.
Three men are on trial over their killings.
The Robinsons’ parents travelled to the port city of Ensenada for the start of the proceedings.
